Flurry Rogue Endgame Build Guide

If you are fresh in Torment 1 coming from a leveling guide, this is where you begin. Since only some Aspects can be guaranteed from Dungeon unlocks for the Codex of Power, focus on acquiring the additional aspects via gambling with Murmuring Obols.

Gear & Skills

• Early in your progression, focus on Armor & Resistances to survive. Each Torment difficulty adds a 250 Armor and 25% Resistance penalty and it's recommended to keep both capped (1000 Armor, 70%+ Resistances) at all times. As you unlock higher power gear, Masterworking levels, and more paragon points, you naturally scale your character into the higher difficulties and can start replacing some of these affixes with offensive or utility stats.
• Umbrous is an important survivability tool for many Rogue builds. If you haven't found it, use either Mot, Enshrouding, or Dark Shroud on your bar for extra defense.
• Obtain the Lucky Hit: Chance to Restore Primary Resource affix on your melee weapons to spam Flurry.
• Stolen Vigor, Encircling Blades, and Breakneck Bandit's are your main Offensive Aspects. The Starter Flurry Rogue setup shows the most optimal arrangement of these Aspects when they are max rank as they have different max values. As you change and improve your equipment, ensure the highest percentage Aspect is on your Ranged weapon and the second highest percentage Aspect is on your Amulet.
• It is important to use one Sword and one Dagger to avoid losing all of your Weapon Mastery bonus when an enemy is not Healthy or Injured. Review the Pros and Cons of Daggers and Swords in the FAQ & Mechanics section for more details. You socket Flawless Diamond gems into the sockets to boost No Witnesses.

The goal here is to progress through the Torment difficulties as you unlock Ancestrals, Paragon points, all Legendary Aspects, Temper mods and the most important Uniques to pilot this build. Some Legendary Aspects are used temporarily to fill slots that may be replaced with more Unique items later on.

Gear & Skills

• As you upgrade your gear to Ancestrals with more Masterworking levels and reach higher Paragon, you can focus more and more on replacing Armor & Resistance rolls with better stats, but ensure to stay capped at 1000 Armor and 70%+ Resistances for your current difficulty.
• Once you acquire Asheara's Khanjar, you replace your weapon with Accelerating. Reaching 100% Chance for Flurry to Deal Double Damage is still possible by following the Tempering setup above. Weapon Mastery is your priority target for Masterworking as it is a significant damage boost for the Flurry Rogue.
• Cowl of the Nameless gives a large damage boost by improving two good passives, Trick Attacks and Unstable Elixirs. The unique effect also helps you maintain your Energy through Innervation.
• Barrier is capped at 100% of your Maximum Life so any points above 7 in Second Wind are wasted. Keep this in mind when Tempering and Masterworking as this may give you some extra skill points.

This setup optimizes the build to push the highest possible Tiers in The Pit after you have finished the Mythic variant and reached a plateau in your progression. The Pit Push variant of the Flurry Rogue focuses on making Flurry Overpower with every cast by using Banished Lord's Talisman. This setup has steep gear requirements outlined below.

Gear & Skills

• Banished Lord's Talisman, Beastfall Boots, and Harlequin Crest are required to meet thresholds outlined below.
• This setup requires about a 10.25 second or lower cooldown on Death Trap. This is due to a bug with Preparation preventing you from reducing Ultimate skill cooldowns by more than 10 seconds in one cast. This is achieved through a combination of Cooldown Reduction on Harlequin Crest, Ultimate Cooldown Reduction on Beastfall Boots and Trap Cooldown Reduction from Ring Tempers and Spring-loaded on Deadly Ambush Paragon Board.
• This setup requires 275 or more Max Energy. Since Momentum increases your Max Energy by 30%, this means you need 212 Max Energy out of combat. This ensures each time you cast Death Trap to activate Beastfall Boots then use Flurry, you have spent the required Energy for your next Flurry to Overpower thanks to Banished Lord's Talisman. This is achieved through Max Energy/Resource affixes on Harlequin Crest, Beastfall Boots, then either Elixir of Resourcefulness II or Tibault's Will.
• Adding one Aftermath temper on Pants is the easiest way to restore 275 Energy at once so each cast of Flurry that is buffed by Beastfall Boots meets the Energy requirement for Banished Lord's Talisman.
• Zan + Qax doubles your damage with Flurry every 3 casts of Death Trap.
• Poc + Xal buffs Overpower damage through increasing your Maximum Life.

Skill Rotation

1. Cast Caltrops to start ramping the damage boost from Enhanced Caltrops.
2. Activate Cold Imbuement for the damage boost from Mixed Cold Imbuement.
3. Throw Smoke Grenade periodically for a damage boost.
4. Cast Death Trap to activate Beastfall Boots damage buff while restoring all Energy through Aftermath.
5. Activate Concealment. This guarantees a Critical Strike on Flurry from Subverting Concealment.
6. Cast Flurry to hit with a guaranteed Critical Strike and Overpower.
7. Repeat steps 1-6 until enemies are dead. It is important not to cast Smoke Grenade or Caltrops after Death Trap or Concealment. They consume the damage buff from Qax and guaranteed Critical Strike from Subverting Concealment.

Mythic Gear Swaps

• Shroud of False Death can be replaced with a Legendary Chest using Frostbitten, + Ranks to Dark Shroud or Subterfuge Skills, Maximum Life, and Armor or Resistance to All Elements as needed to meet your caps.
• Doombringer can be replaced with a Legendary Sword using Conceited, Dexterity, Maximum Life, Overpower Damage, Chance for Caltrops to Consume No Charges Temper, and Cutthroat Attack Speed Temper.
• Ring of Starless Skies can be replaced with a Legendary Ring using Retribution, Attack Speed, Maximum Life, Dexterity, Cutthroat Attack Speed Temper, and Trap Cooldown Reduction Temper if needed.

This Speedfarming variant optimizes the build for easy activities like Helltides, Whispers, Nightmare Dungeons and lower Pit Tiers after you have finished the Mythic variant and reached a plateau in your progression.

Gear & Skills

• Improved Flurry moves you from enemy to enemy at extreme speeds while dealing damage to anything in your path.
• Swap from Disciplined Dash to Methodical Dash as you should not need the Knock Down in easier content. This gets you where you need to be even faster.

This is a specialized Mythic variant of the Flurry Rogue focused on optimizing your damage output with Victimize. View the full planner for more in depth information.

Gear & Skills

• In Season 6, Victimize no longer scales with the damage of the skill that procs it. Instead it is calculated as a separate source of damage. This changes Passives and Aspects that are used to boost its damage.
• Fists of Fate give you a tremendous amount of bonus Lucky Hit Chance and significantly increases your damage dealt by improving your Victimize proc rate.
• The Umbracrux is a vital item in this setup, as the totem you spawn from Smoke Grenade effectively doubles your damage by doubling the amount of Victimize procs you generate.
• Shroud of Khanduras is an amazing grouping tool that boasts a high Lucky Hit Chance due to Evade being its activator. Victimize shines in high density encounters and the unique effect allows you to create these situations often.
• This Victimize setup unfortunately does not have great Weapon Tempers to use. Shadow Step Cleaves temper is taken to hit multiple enemies with a high Lucky Hit Chance ability at once, significantly increasing the damage Victimize deals when it activates. A good time to use this for offense would be after grouping with Death Trap or Shroud of Khanduras, but always be wary of Crowd Control effects. Poison Surge from Elemental Surge — Night is used to activate Alchemical Advantage, increasing your Attack Speed and Lucky Hit Chance.

This is a specialized Mythic variant of the Flurry Rogue centered around Inner Sight and Scoundrel's Leathers. This is primarily a Speedfarming setup that automates most timed buffs and allows a near one-button playstyle.

Gear & Skills

• Scoundrel's Leathers and Inner Sight are required for this variant to function.
• Traps activated by Scoundrel's Leathers are based off your skill tree nodes. All traps spawn centered on an enemy target. There is an internal cooldown that limits you to about 1 Trap spawn per second.
• Inner Sight has an internal cooldown of 4 seconds before another target can be marked after it ends.
• Poison Trap periodically Knocks Down enemies to grant you the second bonus for Malice. Countering Poison Trap also gives a chance to reset your Cold Imbuement cooldown.
• Caltrops provides a damage boost from Enhanced Caltrops. Methodical Caltrops adds Chill to the skill, enabling Frostfeeder,Frigid Finesse, and Mixed Cold Imbuement. Caltrops must be on your skill bar to be spawned by Scoundrel's Leathers.
• Death Trap activates No Witnesses and groups up nearby enemies.
• You should aim for a 10 second duration for Inner Sight at a minimum through Inner Sight Duration tempers and the affix on Scoundrel's Leathers.

Skill Rotation

1. Activate Cold Imbuement to start fights and whenever you use all Imbuement charges.
2. Repeatedly cast Flurry to teleport from enemy to enemy and spawning all of your Traps.
3. Use Dash and Shadow Step for increased mobility and to activate the Fluidity bonus.
4. (On Elites & Bosses) Throw Smoke Grenade for a 25% damage buff.
5. (On Bosses) Start with Caltrops and keep them inside the area to maintain the Enhanced Caltrops debuff.

Mythic Gear Swaps

• Heir of Perdition can be replaced with Cowl of the Nameless. Ranks to Trick Attacks and Unstable Elixirs are the most important affixes and prioritize the former for Masterwork Crits ↑.
• Ring of Starless Skies can be replaced with a Legendary Ring using Inner Calm, Attack Speed, Maximum Life, Dexterity, Damage per Dark Shroud Temper, and Cold Imbuement Charges Temper if needed.
